[Public-list] Variation of A30s

[Robert E Johns]

Hi all,
  In the process of selecting a new tank to install in the starboard 
sail locker I ran into a problem that may affect some members when 
comparing boats. Michael Grosh was very helpful with information about 
his installation  of his tank and the pictures supplied by George D 
were very clear. He plainly said that he has an older non-liner boat 
and I jumped to the conclusion that since our #397 was a non-liner boat 
that his installation would be identical to mine. I think I knew, but 
forgot, that #397 is one of those boats that has the newer deck layout 
but no liner. The new deck layout has a relocated deck drain that 
prevents using a  38 inch long tank.

So this is just to warn members that if you have a boat that is near 
#397 to check whether you are comparing it to a boat that has a liner 
or that has the new deck layout, depending what you are using the 
comparison for.

I am not sure which serial numbers have my configuration but it pays to 
differentiate between the two configuration changes depending what is 
being compared.

Bob Johns, Wind Call, #397
